My PC is playing up, I have a shared internet connection to my brothers PC (his is the host)
The internet connection is working but my PC wont let me into most sites. I can get onto a few, but it comes up with 'this page cannot be displayed' on nearly all the sites I use 
Anyone know what the problem might be

Try a reinstall of windows. Start a clean slate. It will probably fix it. Just takes abit of hassel.

Like I say, same thing happened to me (and Kerry) and it just seems to sort itself out, I guess it must be a problem ISP side rather than at your end.
